Mrs Edmonds misses you all so very much!


So today I have set a volcano challenge just in case you wanted to do something a little bit different.
On our slide deck we have the last slide, slide 14 it is "Free Choice".  If you click on the National Geographic KIDS box it will take you to their website.  Scroll down till you see Volcano facts!
Ask mum or dad to help you read the interesting information and write down your answers to the 5 questions below.  You can either email me or we can check them over on Monday to see who got them right.

Vinuka has shared some writing from home



Wonderful detail you have added to this piece of writing Vinuka.  Great capital letters at the start of the sentence and full stops at the end.  I wonder if your animal is a rabbit?

Also you have said that you have been practising your word lists and you know List 7 now!
This is fantastic Vinuka you are progressing very well. 
Ka pai! Mrs Edmonds is super proud of your effort.
